Checkered pattern is one of the most timeless designs, untouched by fashion trends, as it makes its presence felt in A/W collections through its many variations, from classic Scottish tartan to the always stylish Pied de Poule, as well as countless other color combinations. Season by season, we find it sometimes higher up in the trends and sometimes lower down, and this year checkered pattern is present in street style and the wardrobes of fashion influencers. It may not have stood out on the runways of the most prominent fashion houses, but it did stand out in the looks of the most famous trendsetters, who “create” trends through the paparazzi lens so they can reach every corner of the globe!

The plaid pieces that fashionistas love and that you should wear too

Mini skirt | There are many fashion influencers and insiders who choose plaid pleated skirts in a mini length to create both girly and edgy looks. They wear them with kitten heels as well as chunky ankle boots. Mini plaid skirts have taken over social media feeds, and not without reason! They are versatile and stylish, to be worn however each fashion lover desires.

Tweed jacket | One of the most classic versions, the jacket with its bouclé texture and plaid pattern is one of those timeless pieces, earning the title of hero piece in the women's wardrobe. French women, in fact, never part with it and prove through their looks that it is their go-to choice for day-to-night looks. 

Coat | The plaid coat refreshes classic office looks, professional outfits, and monochrome ensembles, adding interest through its various colors. It will hardly go unnoticed, and it is even harder to resist!

Vest | This refers to the tailored vest, part of the classic suit, which is now chosen on its own and paired with jeans, skirts, and even dresses to give more shape to the silhouette and more style points to the looks!

Sleeveless mini dress | It is one of the fashion obsessions of influencers, and we mostly see it in classic red tartan plaid paired with a white shirt with puffer sleeves, or a black turtleneck. It is suitable for on-trend office looks as well as for going out, depending of course on the styling combinations!

Matching set | Whether it is a suit or a mini skirt suit, the matching plaid set is attracting the most bold fashionistas, who want to wear the trend in an even more dynamic way. In any case, the result does not disappoint.

Tights | In a previous article, I had already mentioned plaid tights as a piece that will elevate your looks. Now, I return to that reference and add that it is also a trend! It is a subtle way to adopt the trend in calmer tones, such as black, and add a preppy touch to your outfits. 

Hairband| Plaid headbands are making a statement and becoming the most fun and chic accessory that will eliminate bad hair days and add style to your outfits.
